    (5) Prior to the conducting of each bombing practice, the area will 
be patrolled by a naval aircraft or surface vessel to ensure that no 
persons or watercraft are within the danger zone. Vessels may be 
requested to veer off when drops are to be made, however, drops will be

method of warning known as ``buzzing'' which consists of low flight by 
the airplane and repeated opening and closing of the throttle.

leave the designated area and, until the conclusion of the practice, 
shall remain at such distance that it will be safe from falling 
projectiles.
    (7) The regulations of this section shall be enforced by the 
Commandant, First Naval District, Boston, Massachusetts, or such 
agencies as he may designate.
